Law of Attraction quotes and affirmations seem to be everywhere. Many people have been introduced to this law because of a certain movie (The Secret), but I believe its greatest benefits come from concentrated study.

The Law of Attraction states that your dominant thoughts are attracted into your life. When I first heard of this, I thought: “That’s obviously false. If it were true, I’d be a woman!”

The more I pondered on it, the more it made sense. I noticed that my main thoughts almost always found a way to manifest into my life. Look around you – everything you see was originally a thought. I’m a firm believer that if you focus on your goal long enough, you’ll find a way to achieve it.

I’m not exactly a rah-rah type person, and I prefer the LOGOYA (Law of Getting Off Your @$$), but I’m definitely a student of the LOA (Law of Attraction). I’ve read dozens and dozens of books on the subject. Here is a list of the ones that had the biggest impact, complete with a quick review and their respective Amazon link.

Where do I begin? This is probably the greatest book I’ve ever read. In the book, Hill has “the secret” to getting rich. He never tells you explicitly, but it’s mentioned no less than a hundred times throughout the book. I personally believe I know what the secret is, but I’ve also studied all of Napoleon Hill’s work. It was only after a burning desire to find the secret, faith that I would find it, and a never-ending persistence to find it, did I discover it. Maybe that will help you in your quest for the secret. Read the book and you’ll see what I mean.

Notable quote: “The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”

This is one of the more recent books I’ve read, but wow was it a game-changer. This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It can be read in an afternoon and it doesn’t get boring.

Stuart Wilde tells it like it is, informing the reader that money is the key symbol of survival. People become obsessed about money because their egos keep them obsessed about survival. He also talks about how many people live unhappy lives because all they do is try to please others. When they spend all their time trying to please others, they never have any time to decide what they really want out of life, and their life is wasted. True empowerment lies with creating your life the way you want to live it.

Wilde also stays in harmony with the LOGOYA in chapter seven, where he explains that if you want to become wealthy, mediation and spirituality isn’t enough – you have to enter the marketplace. This is a wonderful law of attraction book, but it doesn’t tell you to just sit on the couch and wish for a check to come in the mail.

After reading this, I started reading a lot of Stuart Wilde’s other works and they’re almost as good, but this is the one that did the most for me. I encourage you to check out his other work if you enjoy this book.

Notable quote: “All philosophies which teach that poverty is groovy, do so as a cop out. It keeps the non-performing members happy for they can live in the ego-trip of thinking that somehow their lack of creativity and effort will be blessed at a later date. I think they are in for a rude awakening but that is irrelevant.”

Maxwell Maltz was the first person to popularize the term “self-image”. Before we can become wealthy, we must see ourselves as wealthy. Maltz was a plastic surgeon who was astonished at his patients’ personality changes after surgeries; they would see themselves as completely different people!

In the book, he makes the argument that the discovery of the self-image is the most important psychological discovery of modern times, since learning to modify and manage it allows a person to gain tremendous confidence and power. Your behavior is largely based on ingrained, hidden patterns of thought. Once you alter this negative thinking, you’ll be free to tap into more of your potential.

The reason I’m listening this as a law of attraction book is because of the “cybernetics” part. Cybernetics is like a heat-seeking missile. That missile will continuously seek out its target. In that sense, Maltz outlines your subconscious mind as a goal-striving servo-mechanism that works automatically and impersonally to achieve whatever goals you set for it. If you set it for success, you’ll strive for success, but it works just as faithfully as a “Failure Mechanism.” I love this book because it outlines how your mind works to bring your goals to life.

Notable quote: “When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative ‘success mechanism’ within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or willpower.”

Legendary comedienne Phyllis Diller credits this book as the one that changed her life forever. Norman Vincent Peale, author of the highly acclaimed Power of Positive Thinking, calls this book one of the greatest inspirational and motivational books ever written. The book explains that a single golden thread runs through all magic, voodoo, religion, and occult – belief!

The book explains the “card method” and the “mirror technique”, which can be effectively leveraged to tap your subconscious mind. People tend to get what they expect, fulfilling their own prophecies. If you want to get ahead in life, read this book.

Notable quote: “Thought is the original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain, all great discoveries and inventions, and all achievement.”

The first time I read this book, I wasn’t crazy about it, but as I read it again and again, I came to feel its impressive power. Esther Hicks claims to channel the non-physical entity, Abraham Hicks, who gives her methods for manifesting desires. The language is somewhat flowery, but every paragraph contains wisdom that deeply resonated with me.

The best part of Ask and It Is Given is the 22 processes to help with manifestation. The book gives you immediately usable and useful instructions and how to attract what you what. It spells out exactly when to use them (it depends on your emotional state) and how to gauge your progress. Too many other books have a ton of wisdom, but don’t spell out exactly HOW to get what you want. If you’re anything like me, you’re a skeptic, but after trying a few of these (in particular, the “Prosperity Game”) I am constantly amazed.

Another great book by Esther, Jerry, and Abraham Hicks is Money and The Law of Attraction. I read this after Ask and It Is Given and enjoyed it, but Ask and It Is Given helped me the most.

I got Manifestation Miracle and it completely changed my life. It was like a light bulb went off in my head and everything finally "clicked". Now I can finally manifest my desires. Thank you so much for this.
